Chapter 342 Visiting Shen Tian
Xiaoxi quickly ran to Suchuan to discuss it.
"Brother, what's the price of this thing? How do we sell it?"
The two men came too quickly and she hadn't even sorted out the goods yet!
Su Chuan couldn't remember it in such detail, so he quickly flipped through the list and looked for it. After searching for a while, he finally found it. "Here, a butterfly clip costs at least two taels of silver."
Xiaoxi knew what was going on, so she hurried over to flatter him and said, "Ladies, the butterfly silver clip is not cheap, one costs five taels of silver, how much do you want?"
"Only five taels? You, the shopkeeper, are really serious about doing business! I'll buy it all." The woman in yellow said happily.
The blue-dressed lady was unwilling to accept the offer. "Sister, please leave a few for me. I like them too! I think this pair of blue butterflies suits me very well. How about giving me a pair?"
The woman in yellow agreed readily.
Xiaoxi hurried to pack her things, but before she finished, the woman in yellow asked about the price of the silver hairpin.
Xiaoxi just happened to look at it together and said without hesitation: "The silver hairpin is made by a master craftsman, with exquisite materials and pearls and jade, so it costs twenty taels of silver."
The woman in yellow sighed, "Shopkeeper, if you put this silver hairpin in a silver shop, no one would sell it unless they have fifty-two people. You will easily lose money if you do business like this."
Xiaoxi slapped her thigh, "That's right! But the two ladies have seen that my shop sells everything. I don't specialize in one kind of business. I sell whatever goods are available. As long as everyone is happy, that's fine. If the two ladies like my things, come often in the future. I still have some new things here occasionally."
Just then, Su Sheng and his friends brought in a box of candies and snacks and opened them.
The two young ladies were attracted by the exquisite candy wrapper and asked, "What is this?"
With Xiaoxi's eloquent explanation, the two ladies bought some candies and snacks.
After seeing off the two Gods of Wealth, Xiao Xi was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling, and he quickly increased the quantity of goods on the shelves.
The group was busy until the evening before they finally put the goods in order.
Xiaoxi was about to close the shop, but unexpectedly a few young ladies came to the shop and specifically asked to buy butterfly silver clips.
She couldn't change it, so she could only apologize in a nice way and bring out other silver jewelry for them to choose from.
The ladies were disappointed that they could not buy the butterfly silver clips, but fortunately, other silver or gold-plated silver jewelry were also very exquisite and beautiful, which gave them some comfort.
Each of them bought one or two items, and Xiao Xi politely sent them out, easily making several hundred taels of silver.
As soon as the gate was closed, she hurriedly led Su Chuan and the others back to the west of the city.
Tang Cheng was so happy to see his uncles coming that he kept pestering Su Zhan to ask about his brothers and sisters.
Su Zhan took Tang Cheng to play.
Su Chuan took Su Sheng and the others to clean up the side rooms.
Ke Yunyun wanted to help with her big belly, but Su Chuan stopped her. "You are heavy now, just go to the side and rest. Leave this to us. Where is your brother-in-law? Hasn't he come back yet?"
Ke Yunyun smiled happily and nodded, "He worked very hard this year and was recognized by his superiors. It just so happened that a clerk in the government office was going to retire and return home, and he wanted to take this vacancy. I couldn't help him, so I didn't ask too much."
Su Chuan groaned and said, "My brother-in-law is a motivated person, which is good."
Ke Yunyun thought so too.
As they were talking, Tang Yu walked home in the moonlight. He was obviously very happy to see Su Chuan and the others. He immediately went out to order a few jugs of wine and went to a restaurant to order a table of dishes.
At the dinner table, Shen Dagou asked about the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
Tang Yu was a little surprised, “Brother Shen wants to find Yong’an Hou?”
Shen Dagou had a worried look on his face. "My sister and Marquis Yong'an came to the imperial capital for treatment. I want to go see her."
He briefly talked about the relationship between Yong'an Hou and Shen Yi.
Tang Yu and Ke Yunyun were both shocked.
"I didn't expect you guys to be related to the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion! This is easy to handle. I'll ask for leave from the county government tomorrow and take you there to learn about the situation."
They didn't know that Chen Tian came to the imperial capital. If they had known, they would have come to his house a long time ago. After all, Chen Tian was half of his student.
The next day, Xiaoxi went to open the shop as usual. Early in the morning, many young ladies and noble ladies came, specifically to look at jewelry.
It seems that those two ladies really did a good job promoting her yesterday.
While Xiaoxi was busy, Tang Yu also brought Shen Dagou to the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
Looking at the two solemn guards outside the door, Shen Dagou hesitated and stepped forward to bow, saying, "Brother, can you help inform them that Shen Tian's brother from Shenjiazhuang wants to see Lord Yong'an?"
The two soldiers looked at each other, and one of them went into the mansion to report.
Soon someone came out and led the two inside.
The housekeeper led them all the way to the backyard. Shen Dagou saw Shen Tian, who was sitting beside him with a veil on her face, and his eyebrows were immediately filled with joy, "Second sister!"
Tang Yu grabbed him and stepped forward to salute, "Greetings, Lord Marquis."
Liu Laosan glanced at the man opposite him and laughed, "Everyone, get up! Big Dog, long time no see!"
"Uncle Liu! You still remember me!" Liu Laosan smiled innocently and said, "Uncle Liu, this is Mr. Tang, who taught in our village and also taught my younger brother and sister. When he heard that my sister was injured and came to the imperial capital, he came with me."
As he said this, he looked at Shen Tian worriedly, “Second sister, how are you?”
Shen Tian hurriedly stood up and walked to Shen Dagou, bowing, "Brother, Mr. Tang."
Shen Dagou's body stiffened, and Tang Yu also felt a little uncomfortable.
"Child, you have become more well-behaved now that you have arrived in the imperial capital! How is your health?" Tang Yu looked at her worriedly.
Shen Tian lowered her head and replied obediently: "Uncle Liu asked the imperial physician in the palace to see me. I did acupuncture several times and took medicine for several days. I can walk around recently."
"That's good, that's good!" Tang Yu and Shen Dagou both breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Dagou looked at Liu Laosan hesitantly, "Uncle Liu, did the doctor say when my sister will be cured? I want to take her home."
The man opposite Liu Laosan didn't react at first. Hearing this, he subconsciously looked at Shen Tian, and then quickly set his eyes on Liu Laosan, "Doctor Xu said that Miss Shen's condition needs at least half a year of recuperation before it can be considered safe."
"Half a year?" Shen Dagou's expression changed slightly, and the breath he had just let out was lifted again. He looked at the man in brocade clothes suspiciously.
Liu Laosan did not introduce the man's identity, but only said thoughtfully: "Doctor Xu did say such a thing, Big Dog, I know you really want to take your sister back, but her condition is only slightly improving now. It's best to wait until she recovers before going back. What do you think?"
Shen Dagou nodded, "I must cure my illness before I go back."
As he said that, he looked at Shen Tian and said, “Since you can’t go back, I will stay and spend the New Year with you.”
Chen Tian was slightly startled, and a strange warmth passed through her heart, "Brother, I know you care about me, but there are my sister-in-law and nephew at home. You haven't been back all year. It's a rare opportunity to reunite with them during the New Year. I can't let them down.
I have everything good living with Uncle Liu. I have someone to take care of me and little sisters to talk to. I won't be lonely. Big brother, you can go back without worry, and let my parents, grandmother and second brother rest assured."
